Invite Some Friends, Make Some Food!
Invite Some Friends,
Make Some Food!
Food. It¡¯s something we all need to survive, right? We eat to help us grow, to stay
healthy and, most importantly, to stay alive.
But we need more than just physical food to stay alive; we need spiritual ¡°food¡± too! In
Matthew 4:4, Jesus said: ¡°... ¡®People do not live by bread alone, but by every word that
comes from the mouth of God¡¯¡± (NLT).
The last part of the verse is important! But how do we know where to find God¡¯s
words? They¡¯re found in the Bible! That means that the Bible is our spiritual food ¡ª the
food that helps us grow and stay healthy and alive in our relationship with God.
But around 170 million people around the world are waiting to get the first words of
the Bible in their language. That¡¯s a lot of people who need to have the Bible ¡ª God¡¯s
spiritual food! ¡ª in a way that makes sense to them.
One of the best ways you can help make this happen is to pray. No matter how old you
are, you can pray that God will help people all around the world to get the Bible in their
language so they can learn more about him! A fun way to do that is by learning about
the different cultures, languages and people who are still waiting for the Bible. And you
can do that by trying different recipes from around the world ¡ª food that people just
like you and me eat in their homes with their friends and family.

So why not invite a few people over and make one, two or more of these recipes? Mack
and I have pulled these recipes from our cookbook ¡°Cooking with Kate & Mack¡± which
you can find at cook. As you make this food, read about the country it¡¯s
from and the people who eat it, and pray that they¡¯ll learn about God¡¯s amazing love
for them in a language and form they can clearly understand.

Missionary kid: Jude (age 7)
Food: Fol¨¦r¨¦
Country: Cameroon
Jude says, ¡°Fol¨¦r¨¦ is a sweet red drink that we have at
special times, like birthday parties. You have to be
careful when you make fol¨¦r¨¦ because it can stain your
shirt purple. I like living in Cameroon because there
are lots of sticks around all the time that I can
use to make swords and bows and arrows.
I also like the loud drums people play at
night and in church, and the fires that
they make to burn the grass.¡±
